Technology & Design

Greenline’s electric models use advanced propulsion systems such as the Torqeedo electric drive and high-density lithium battery packs, tailored for marine use. For instance, the 39 E-Drive uses a 50 kW motor and 80 kWh battery. The 40 E-Drive advances further with twin 135 kW motors and ~189 kWh battery capacity. The hulls are designed for efficiency and comfortable cruising; interiors offer home-like amenities, large windows, and social layouts.

Sustainability

Traditional motorboats generate fuel emissions, create large wakes, and consume high energy. Greenline’s electric-only E-Drive models eliminate tailpipe emissions, reduce noise and wake, and offer extended electric cruising range. For example, the 39 E-Drive variant achieves ~175-200 nautical miles under electric power. Solar integration further enhances onboard energy independence.

Vision

Greenline Yachts’ vision is to lead the next generation of leisure yachting: where electric propulsion is the standard, design is uncompromised, and comfort meets sustainability. Their fully electric models are built to show that eco-friendly boating doesn’t mean sacrificing luxury or capability.
